The episode begins with Ja-Yu and Chae-Woon meeting Mr. Seo to discuss surveillance of Blood Free employees following a ransomware attack. Ja-Yu concentrates on the transaction and travel details of key staff … Particularly Sin-Gu, who is nearing retirement and supposedly visiting Phoenix. Despite Mr Seo’s reluctance, he concedes to Ja-Yu’s demands. Chae-Woon, suspicious of everyone’s motives, decides to shadow Mr. Seo, knowing his pivotal role in IT security.
Confrontations and Confessions
Ja-Yu, recognizing Chae-Woon’s intelligence and potential motives, confronts him directly. In a tense meeting, she questions his connections with political figures and suspects him of embedding the ransomware. Despite Chae-Woon’s attempts to deflect suspicion towards the lab staff, Ja-Yu remains unconvinced, aware of the layers of intrigue surrounding her company.
Alarming Discoveries
On-San, the co-founder of Blood Free, is dragged into a police investigation about Ms. Hong’s mysterious accident. Flashbacks reveal Ms Hong overhearing a critical conversation about ransom demands at Sin-Gu’s apartment, which directly precedes her tragic accident. Sin-Gu’s actions at the hospital, such as erasing evidence from Ms. Hong’s car dashcam, suggest his role in the sabotage.
Realizing Sin-Gu’s imminent danger to flee, Ja-Yu, Chae-Woon, and On-San rush to his residence only to find him gone. In a chilling phone confrontation, Sin-Gu brazenly shifts the blame onto Ja-Yu, destroying his SIM card to evade further tracking.

Despite the grave charges, Chae-Woon believes in Kir’s innocence and presses him for the truth, hoping it might alter his grim fate. However, Kir, overwhelmed by guilt and despair, refuses to disclose more, leaving Chae-Woon to confront the complex layers of betrayal and manipulation alone.
Gritty Confrontations
In his quest to locate Sin-Gu, Chae-Woon encounters local thugs, leading to a violent altercation.
